Discount Wedding Invitations

Sandra Ketcham
Weddings can be extremely expensive, but most people feel the expense is worth it. Saving money on your wedding invitations, however, might be the difference between affording your perfect honeymoon and be forced to skip the honeymoon completely. Discount wedding invitations are easy to find, and can look and feel just as luxurious and expensive as pricier invitations. If saving money is important to you, bypass the stationary stores and check out some of the ideas below for lovely, elegant, discount wedding invitations.

Local Discount Wedding Invitations:

Kinko's:

People rarely think of Kinko's as a place to find wedding invitations, but this store is fabulous if you are looking to save some money and do not mind a bit of DIY work when it comes to your wedding. Kinko's stocks a variety of cardstock and specialty papers with fancy designs and borders that are perfect to use for printing wedding invitations. Most stores also carry matching envelopes, and for just a bit more money they will cut the paper into the proper sizes for you. Kinko's designer cardstock and papers are printed on 30 percent post-consumer recycled paper to help protect the environment. Prices and designs vary by location.

Staples:

Like Kinko's, Staples offers a variety of cardstock and envelopes to use for your wedding invitations. Staples Copy and Print Centers will professionally print your invitations and return address on your envelopes using your personal specifications. You can also purchase the paper and envelopes, and then take them home and print out your discount wedding invitations using pre-made templates. Add some color and ribbons, and no one will know your wedding invitations were not professionally made.
